BuffaloWeather Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 They raised the amounts to up to 2 feet across central Erie county again. We have been getting slammed all day here near the Bills Stadium at 5 corners. Not sure about totals, will go out to measure here and at my house.

Syrmax Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Skied at Song Mt south of Syracuse today. Place is barely open. Was fun though with my son, first time for him. This weekends rain is going to sabotage their snowmaking efforts. Maybe better luck later in January. Or March. Happy New Year to all and be safe out there if venturing out.

coh Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Nice little surprise, about 2" of new fluff in the last 3 hours here in western Monroe County courtesy of Lake Erie. We don't often get the right combination of instability and wind to get much snow out of the Lake Erie band this far inland. Nice large flakes, wind has calmed down - beautiful!

ayuud11 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Nice little surprise, about 2" of new fluff in the last 3 hours here in western Monroe County courtesy of Lake Erie. We don't often get the right combination of instability and wind to get much snow out of the Lake Erie band this far inland. Nice large flakes, wind has calmed down - beautiful! Enjoy!! AT 530 PM...RADAR SHOWS TWO BANDS OFF LAKE ERIE THEN CONVERGENCE ACROSS GENESEE COUNTY BEFORE WEAKENING AS IT MOVES INTO MONROE COUNTY. BRISK SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS HAVE PUSHED THIS QUITE FAR OFF LAKE ERIE. BASED ON THIS...EXPECT SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS MONROE COUNTY...ESPECIALLY SOUTH AND WEST OF DOWNTOWN ROCHESTER. HAVE ISSUED AN ADVISORY FOR MONROE AND ORLEANS COUNTIES FOR THIS BAND. OTHERWISE...EXPECT LAKE EFFECT SNOW TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS...WITH MEANDERING OF THIS BAND LIKELY. IT ALSO MAY CONSOLIDATE INTO A SINGULAR BAND THIS EVENING. SNOWFALL RATES ARE ALREADY 1 TO 2 INCHES AN HOURS...WITH SNOWFALL RATES IN EXCESS OF 2 INCHES AN HOUR POSSIBLE IF THE BAND CONVERGENCES. HAVE ALSO TWEAKED AMOUNTS UP A BIT BASED ON LATEST SPOTTER REPORTS...WITH 6 TO 12 INCHES EXPECTED OFF LAKE ERIE TONIGHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
